    On July 22, 2006, a 32,000-square-foot fenced, off-leash dog park opened within the southern…read moresection of Lori Wilson Park as a joint project between the City of Cocoa Beach and Brevard County. Lori Wilson Dog Park is the only area within Lori Wilson Park where dogs are permitted The fully fenced park features separate areas for large and small dogs. Nearby amenities include restrooms, picnic shelters, pavilions, and parking. The day I visited, the temperature reached a sweltering 105 degrees. Unfortunately, there wasn't any shade inside the dog park, which looked uncomfortable for both dogs and their owners. A few shade trees or covered seating areas would greatly improve the experience, especially during Florida's hot summer months. It could also use a few more obstacles or agility training pieces. Compared to other dog parks, this was bare bones. On the bright side, admission is free, making it a convenient stop if you're visiting Cocoa Beach with your dog. Outside of this designated dog park, dogs are generally not allowed elsewhere in Lori Wilson Park or on the adjacent beach, except during special events such as the annual Surfing Dogs competition held in April. It looks pawsitively awesome and I hope I make it back here for that one day.

    This place is such a great neighborhood staple for dog lovers!!…read more The atmosphere is welcoming and social. It's easy to strike up conversations with other dog owners, the staff is very friendly, and management is thoughtful, responsive, and focused on customer service. The dogs have plenty of room to play (both in the big dog area and small dog area), there's someone supervising to keep interactions safe, it's very clean, and there are lots of ways for everyone to cool off.... The misting fans are great, and I love that dogs are welcome inside the air-conditioned restaurant when they (or we) need a break from the FL heat! We tried the pizza this visit and it was definitely better than your typical bar food! The dough was especially delicious. The little details (like the cute restroom signs) are a great touch ....You can tell a lot of thought went into making the place fun and comfortable for both people and their pups. If you're looking for a place where your dog can play while you relax, grab a bite, and meet other dog lovers, BarkHaven is absolutely worth checking out. Thank you, BarkHaven -- we'll definitely be back!!

    I am absolutely obsessed with bringing my doggo here. It's great for him to socialize with other…read moredogs while I can also socialize with other humans with a drink in my hand! Your dog will need to be up to date on vaccines as well as either having a membership here or paying $10-15 for your dog's entry fee. There is a small dog side if you're not comfortable with your smaller dogs playing with the big boys and girls. There is also an inside area where you can watch sports on TV and play some pool if you have your dog leashed. All the food here is really really good. The specialty drinks are a little sweet for me here personally but the spritz selection is pretty fire! The servers are always so nice and bubbly. They do rotate some of the drinks out so I always love to see what they have new. They are really good at finding you in the chaos also to make sure your drink stays full :) If you have a social doggo, definitely take them here!

This is the perfect spot to relax on a bench and take in the beautiful view of the Indian River and the Hubert Humphrey Causeway. Cocoa Riverfront Park was once the home of the Porcher family. Their neoclassical mansion is still in the park. The families packinghouse was on the river bank behind the house. It was used to process produce delivered by boat the family's groves on Merritt Island. Today the park is a recreational destination for visitors to Cocoa Village. It has an open lawn area, playground, amphitheater, boardwalk, splash fountain, and covered pavilions. There are areas for fishing, water sports, and to launch a boat. The Porcher House can be rented for weddings. Cocoa Riverfront Park is a destination for concerts and community events like the July 4th celebration and fireworks. This park connects to Taylor Park and Lee Wenner Park providing 10 acres of recreational space along the Indian River for everyone to enjoy.

Yes there were portapotties on site but you still need to maintain the brick and mortar ones.
